RAYBURN MASTER BROCHURE2

Life tastes good
For over sixty years, Rayburn have been integral to healthy kitchen living. We passionately believe
in using natural resources responsibly and thanks to our rural heritage, we have always understood the benefits
of cooking with fresh, local produce. The Classic is where it all started. The original Rayburn solid fuel range
cooker. Refined over time, the Classic remains unchallenged as the most efficient, controllable, cast iron range
cooker with the versatility to also provide central heating and/or domestic hot water. A Rayburn can be installed
in virtually any situation, from a remote country house, to a four bedroomed townhouse or a new city centre flat
conversion. In other words, any home where the virtues of self-reliance, minimal environmental impact, practical
modern comforts and good, wholesome food are pre-requisites. Add to this the fact that we use reclaimed iron
and that 70% of every Rayburn is recyclable, (made in one of the country’s ‘greenest’ manufacturing plants) - it’s
got to be better for everyone.
‘Fresh local food cooked to
perfection in our wonderful
wood fired Rayburn’.

Self-sufficient home
cooking and heating
The Rayburn wood burning and multi-fuel Classic Series is a range of six models that cover every option
from the simplicity of the 200SFW, a range cooker only, through a choice of cooking, hot water and
heating combinations.
And every one can be fuelled with natural, carbon neutral wood; the least expensive fuel for cooking, domestic
hot water and central heating.
Modern and clean, each one shares the same legendary simplicity to regulate the oven and hotplate
temperatures, (a spinwheel and a chimney damper). Contrary to most assumptions, there's little mess and
peripheral ash purely because; firstly, wood burns so efficiently and secondly, the Rayburn's combustion is so
complete. (There is a riddling mechanism for solid fuels, but with wood particularly, it's hardly needed).
Equally, to control hot water and heating is just as straight forward. On the high-output 345W and 355SFW
models, a priority damper lever enables the level of heat to be directed between the boiler and the cooker
as required, thus making the most of the fuel. The temperature of the radiators can be precisely set by a simple
thermostatic control.
In warmer weather the 216SFW, 345W and the 355SFW can be adjusted to limit hot water and save logs without
any effect on cooking performance. Even further economies can be enjoyed by optimising overnight burning.
All your cooking, hot water and heating in your control.

A clean burning, wood fired Rayburn uses indirect heat technology to create a stable, controllable heat source.
Heat is transfered from the fire to the heavy, heat retentive castings by radiation, the top of the oven being heated
by flue gasses passing over it. A unique triangular box under the oven reflects upwards to distribute heat across
the floor of the oven. Inside, a special convector duct ensures that heat is conveyed to all parts evenly.
Carbon Neutral
Burning wood is carbon neutral,
because it only releases the same
amount of carbon dioxide to the
atmosphere as it would, if it were left
to decompose on the forest floor.
So when you burn firewood be
assured that you are not harming
the environment.
In a Rayburn, there are no oven flues to become blocked that could mean weekly cleaning as with some other
wood burning cookers. There's little residual soot or dust, just the combustion gasses being utilised to the full
before being released cleanly via the chimney.
Mounted into the top of a Rayburn is a large, cast-iron hotplate, underneath which are deep fins angled directly
above the fire to collect and concentrate the heat. The heat is then graduated across the hotplate from left to
right. The hotter left side being perfect for fast stir-frys and quick boiling - just slide across to simmer. And, as many

pancakes etc.
The art of wood burning
To obtain the best results from your Rayburn, it's important to use properly seasoned wood as this provides the most heat with the least
smoke, burning cleanly and efficiently preventing the production of tar deposits in the chimney.
Once timber has been cut to length for the Rayburn’s large firebox, the logs need to be split to expose the inner surface to allow moisture to
evaporate and the wood to season.
Stack and leave for six months to a year, preferably under cover, for the moisture to reach the ideal level of 20% or below. 'Cut in autumn burn the next'. Wood logs, blocks or peat briquettes can also be burnt.
'There's something so satisfying about
burning logs and what could be more natural
- they're clean, efficient, it's cheaper and I just
love the smell of a wood fire'.
Wood only Rayburns
For those who know that they will only ever want to burn wood we have created models with grates specifically designed to optimise the
combustion potential of wood. Wood only models are designated with a “W”.
The 345W Heatranger provides cooking, hot water and central heating sharing many of the features of the larger output 355SFW.
However, the wood only 345W has a unique benefit, in that it currently qualifies for a reduced rate of VAT (only 5% instead of the standard
rate of 17.5%) as part of a government incentive for more people to use wood only fuelled central heating boilers as means of heating their
homes. The reduced rate of VAT applies to both the 345W appliance and the basic installation costs providing that they are shown on the
same invoice. Ask your Rayburn retailer for full details.
The 300W Cookmaster is our wood fuelled cooker only model and as it does not feature a boiler it means that it can benefit from a larger
fire box instead. As a result the 300W boasts an increased fuel load of approximately 20kg of logs and which also means that the logs can
be larger at 16 inches rather than 12 inches for other models.
If you want to enjoy the flexibility of burning a wider range of solid fuels, such as Manufactured Smokeless Fuel (MSF) compressed heat
logs or peat briquettes as well as wood, then you should select a model denoted with “SFW” which stands for Solid Fuel & Wood
(200SFW, 212SFW, 216SFW and 355SFW).
